Is there a way to force a default time zone? I can't get help from bluehost on their recent server changes and now my time is +5h. I know I can set the timezone in PHP using date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago') but is there a better way?

Hi

You can use the date adjust parameter in includes.php for that

Please feel free to review / rate our software

Here are sample [maroon]includes.php[/maroon] config entries to set your timezone and date format:

[font=Courier New][orange]// GENERAL SETTINGS[/orange]
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
$dateformatstr="dS F Y"; [orange]// show date in format for example 25th May 2004 20:17[/orange]
$admindateformat=2; [orange]// Set date in admin section to UK style format dd/mm/yyyy[/orange][/font=Courier New]

Refer to PHP docs for a [url="https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php"]list of supported Timezones >>[/url]
